Let's touch on such a popular direction of creativity as painting on glass. Nowadays, she has many admirers, and many who want to learn such art.

What to work

So, consider the technique of painting.

Draw contours

The bottle (washed, peeled from labels and degreased with alcohol) will be decorated with decorative curls. You depict them in any form you like, which will be prompted by your imagination.

Using the white outline, draw the first curl on the bottle (the nozzle is not used yet, it will come in handy later). The hole in the contour will not allow thin curls to be obtained, but so far this is not required. Fat curls "gather" more spangles.

Without waiting for the contour to dry (and it dries for about half an hour), sprinkle it with glitter gently. They should stick well to the fresh contour. Some of the sparkles will inevitably be scattered around the contour, but now it is not necessary to remove them - you can smear the borders of the curl. They are removed only after drying of all the curls, made successively in the same technique.

When you buy the contours, you can advise those in the composition of which already have sparkles. But there they are already mixed with the main paint, so they will not overflow and shine so brightly.

Thus, the contour is better to choose without sparkles, and to put them in the process of work is already on top.

Little by little, the picture will cover the whole bottle. It will not happen too quickly - in several stages. After all, to turn the bottle over and start painting its reverse side, you should wait for the final drying of the already treated surface.

Apply paint

When the drawing is transferred to the glass completely, and everything is dry, rinse the unnecessary glitter under the stream of running water and carefully blot the product with a rag. And only after that we start working with paints.

Typing paint on the brush, fill in the bottle of curls. Paint color choose your own taste - one or more. It is better not to paint over all curls, since a monotonously painted bottle will not look spectacular.

Apply paint as carefully as possible, evenly spreading over the surface. Obvious smears should not be overlooked. This process is also phased, with breaks for complete drying.

Finishing touches

At the final stage, the nozzle on the contour is useful. With its help put the final touches, or rather the point. They will be framed on the edge of each curl. The grace and extraordinary refinement of the final result is attached to the bottles, the stencil of which is selected taking into account the unity of the overall composition. You will immediately see how the product will play and become "bulk".

Currently, painting with acrylic paints is extremely popular, and exactly the dots are a fashionable and winning option.

In conclusion, I would like to say that this beautiful type of decorative art from year to year is gaining more and more fans. Creates the most real masterpieces of applied art. And most importantly - the creators of their provided the joy of creativity and good mood!

A variety of bottle decoration options - room for your imagination

Competing glass manufacturers have always strived to make their products unlike other products. Various bottles were invented in shape, multiple differences appeared according to their purpose, color and volume. You yourself can create something to remember, using the old waste material. Bottle decor will help you find an enjoyable experience that will reveal your creative start. How to decorate a bottle with your own hands is outlined below.

Option 1. Composition "Flowers".

  To decorate the bottle in this way, we need only glue and chocolate foil.
  To begin with, the foil should be straightened, therefore it should be laid on a flat surface and straightened with a flat object. If there is no such thing nearby, the foil can be smoothed with just hands True, this will take much more time.
  Then the bottle is carefully wrapped in foil. Folds will form around the neck - this is normal. Only they should be distributed neatly around the entire radius of the bottle.
  The main part is to create a composition of foil, which will display a bouquet of flowers. To do this, the remaining foil should be cut into narrow long strips of different sizes. Then these strips roll into a bundle - home-made foil tapes are obtained.
  Then everything depends on your imagination and sleight of hand. From the harnesses made on the table flowers are twisted, which are very similar to roses. The stem is a single strand line. To make the leaves, the strands need to be cut into small pieces and connect the two ends. Each created item is individually glued to the bottle.
  The advantage of the foil is that it is very elastic in the hands, and the harnesses resemble plasticine. From it you can create not only floral arrangements, but also natural landscapes.

Option 2. Decoration with tissue paper, fabric and tow.

  The shape of the glass bottle is already there, you only need to decorate it. All you need is a desire to do something very pretty. You just have to choose the material with which you will decorate the bottle. For finishing materials used aerosol and acrylic paints that can create an impressive choice of colors palette. Methods of applying varnish on the bottles are different: with a brush, swab, spray. In any case, you will get your unique surface of various colors.
Before painting the surface of the bottle must be decorated with tissue paper. It creates artificial folds and has an embossed effect. Textiles will give you great opportunities for combining fabrics of different textures under color. Even without artistic inclinations, you can make your own bottle decoration with glue and twine (natural fibers). You can gradually twine the twine tightly to each other on glue, and then paint the bottle with spray paint. As an ornament of a bottle the old napkin from lace will fit even. Her only need to pre-paint in tea and starch.

Option 3. How to decorate the bottle with your own hands using coffee beans or peanuts?

This is the easiest way, requiring virtually no special skills. Suitable even for someone who has never done anything with his own hands. You will need a glass bottle, glue, coffee beans. The label on the bottle may remain. If you have PVA glue, you can cover a small section of the bottle with it and stick the grain on it in small groups. If you use the glue moment, then for each grain you must separately apply a drop of glue and glue them one by one. It is also recommended to pre-sort the coffee beans by size and shape - with the same beans the pattern on the bottle will look better. Such a bottle can be no problem.

Option 4. Decoration of glass bottles with semolina.

  In order to create a bottle decorated with semolina, it is necessary to practice a little. After a couple of attempts, you have to cope with this task. You will need a glass bottle, glue, semolina, a disposable syringe, a stencil for a picture, a varnish in an aerosol. First remove the paper label. Then the bottle should be washed, dried and degreased. Then you draw the PVA glue into a syringe without a needle and, using a stencil, apply a pattern. The stencil is best attached to the bottle with masking tape. Sprinkle semolina on wet glue. The pattern should not be applied all at once, but in small areas. When put a little glue and sprinkled with semolina you have to wait until the glue dries completely. It usually takes three to four hours. Then we put the next pattern. After the final drying of the glue, varnish is applied in three to four layers. If you are already an experienced person, you can apply drawings without a stencil at your discretion.

Option 5. You can decorate a bottle of champagne with your own hands with newsprint.

Bottles decorated with various paper

To do this, you will need: newspapers, PVA glue, acrylic paints and varnish. Paper label must be removed necessarily, and the bottle should be washed and dried. Then you need to tear the newspaper up into several pieces and put the next step to a good wrinkle - spray the bottle with PVA glue. Then carefully cover the bottle with paper and make sure that the transitions are not sharp. There should be no air under the paper, but wrinkles and bruises should form on the bottle. Next, you need to make patterns from the newspaper. Cut the paper into strips about three to four centimeters wide and fold it into bundles. The area of ​​the bottle on which the newspaper cord will be applied is smeared with glue and the pattern is carefully glued. As soon as the glue dries, you need to paint the bottle with acrylic paints. In what color - is yours.

Decorative bottle with salt

For creativity we need:

For onchala bottle wash well, sterilize (about 3-5 minutes), dry.

Next, prepare the bottle filler: scatter the fine salt into containers, paint in different colors (that is, the salt in each container will be its specific color), leave the salt to dry. About a day, while not forgetting to mix and break up lumps.

Now, after the salt is prepared, proceed to the most interesting. Fall asleep different colors of salt in the order that you think of yourself. We advise you to use the funnel when falling asleep.

Then close the cork and decorate with ribbons.

A few guidelines for making decorative bottles with fruits and vegetables.

You can preserve everything. But banks with home-made products are unlikely to be able to decorate your home, even if you really try to give them a presentation. Still, food is food, and place it in the pantry. And what if you try to make canned food, the only purpose of which is to add comfort to your kitchen, and maybe even to the living room

Look for dishes, or 4 rules of rolling

Rule number 1. To roll up for beauty can not any food product. Excluded: cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, sweet peppers.
   What is the "roll" can and should be? For example, flowers. Yes, yes, flowers, including roses left over from festive bouquets! Still very beautiful looks like a small multi-colored bitter pepper, small mushrooms, tinted garlic, beans, tiny immature carrots, paradise apples, oranges, lemons, radishes.

Rule number 2. As a preservative should not use vinegar. It changes the color of the raw material, it seems to fade, it becomes yellowish or greenish, in general, it looks like something boring. Try to get medical formalin. The perfect thing! Vegetables and fruits will remain bright, juicy, and the banks will never explode. The main thing is not to heat the solution and work with it in a respirator and rubber gloves. Instead of formalin, 70 percent ethyl alcohol is quite suitable, but over time your canned food may fade.

Another option is a strong solution of gelatin with sugar, about 1/1, but it can be used only for fruits and flowers, the vegetables in this solution look bad.

Rule number 3. Do not use ordinary glass jars. You are not going to later discover and have your creations. Get the original packaging! Every little thing like garlic or mushrooms can be gently placed through the neck in a beautiful bottle of clear glass. Find fancy chemical flasks - great! They look unusual and immediately attract attention. For sliced ​​oranges and lemons, low thick-walled honey jars with a pneumatic cork lid are suitable (honey in such containers is often sold in large supermarkets). In general, look for dishes! The more original it is in itself, the more interesting your canned food will look.

Rule number 4. You do not need special tightness, but, nevertheless, it is worthwhile to prepare in advance more colored wax or paraffin in order to fill it with a cork or cap. This will hide any flaws (for example, that the lid looks cheap) and will give the blanks a noble vintage look.

Layer by layer
   We put the necessary raw materials into cleanly washed and dried containers. You can uniformly or in layers, but not mixed. It looks beautiful if the layer, for example, lemon slices alternate with a layer of rose petals or garlic.

When laying in the final container, try not to leave free space, your "blanks" should not float in the bank. If you use formalin, pour each layer separately. In other cases, you can act as in conventional canning. Flowers, on the contrary, cannot be firmly laid, they should hang inside the vessel, as it were. Some masters recommend a very strong saline solution for them, but this is rather risky.

After pouring, close the lid and gently, heating the wax in a tablespoon, pour it. You should not be afraid of picturesque flows, they will only decorate the product. After the end of the bank’s work, it should stand for at least a week in a dark cool place.

And now the most important thing: where to put your decorative canned food? The counter question is: why should it be set? You can do otherwise. Buy in a hardware store more metal "clamps" for water pipes, the diameter corresponding to your dishes. The “collar” is carefully wrapped in parchment or a piece of sackcloth, tightly tightened on the neck of a can or bottle and fastened to the wall with a screw. True, if the plate is very pot-bellied, it is better to put it on a shelf or cupboard, as it will look bad in a hanging form. The ideal thing is flat brandy bottles, you can hang them all walls at least!

If you did everything right, your canned food will serve you indefinitely. They cannot be eaten, but even in fierce winter they will remind you of summer and make your home warm and cozy.
